Boquet Throwers.

A club has been formed among some
of the dude theatre-gOers OF this city,
having for its object the practice Of the
art Of bOquet throwing, TO bring them
selves to perfection, for the winter sea-
ron OF opera and chorus girls now upon
rs. "Tney will have to hurry up" said
one Of them in talking to a reporter. "lt
il difficult feat, | can tell you, for q
nervous young man in full evening
lress, like we always attend theatres. 10

The feet OF an actress separated from him
half dozen rows. Two to one it will
fall short and hit the baldheaded man in
the first row, or fall on the first violin
aud simply crush him. Then, too, il is
likely to fall at the feet OF the wrong
woman, and, then such q "cOntretemp"
have seen dissipated young chappies
reOklessly split their coats In hurting q
bOquet, which strikes the actress with
such force as TO all but knock the breath
out of her darling self" Speaking 10
him about the notable abandonment OF
boquet throwing, to give place to pri-
vate gifts Of flowers, he replied: mo,
sir, it will not do. None OF US could give
it up. Every one sees US throw the
boquet, but few would know If we sent
the flowers to the hotel in hack" The
reporter thought that perhaps the ad-
ditional cost OF the hack fare might pos
sbly have something to do with ii, but
he did not voice his thought, but left, re-
fleoting that human nature was human
after all.

Honolulu lie the paradise Of John
Chinaman. The Chinese merchants are
absorbing the trade Of the island. The
Kanaka women prefer cheap John to his
white rival rs he is more thrifty and re-
spects his native wife, and the yellow
skins are having it all their own way.
The fly in the pots OF ointment is the
fact that Honolulu is only half way
house for these Asistlc lepers and from
that vantage ground they will soon over
run this whole country. There are sdd-
ed scores of the pests reaching this city
every week, and by and by the Mexicans
will find their tamsle and chile priyi-
leges usurped by John, and then the city
council will pass an ordinance against
them and the police will raid them ont

Catarrhal Dangers

To be freed from the dangers of sufOcatiOn
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep
sOundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache; TO know that no poisonous, putrid mat
ter dehles the breath and rOts away the deli
cate machinery of smell, taste and hearing;
to feel that the system does not, through its
veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enjOyments.
To purchase immunity from such fate
should be the object Of all afflicted. But those
who have tried many remedies and physicians
despair of relief or cure.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of catarrh, from a simple head cold to the
most lOathsOme and destructive stages. 1t is
local and constitutional. Instant in relieving,
permanent in curing, safe, economical and
never-failng.
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of
CATARRHAL SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED In
HALER, all wrapped in one package, with
treatise and directions, and sold by all drug
gists for 81.

The Alliance between Blsmark and
Count Crispi, Italian minister, is q
most important one for Italy. This
kingdom has been gradually rising In
dignity and power and by the late alli-
ance is made one Of the most important
OF the southern European nations. No
doubt that the action of Bismark is in
tended as q counter check alike upon
Russia and France. In assuring Italy
full power to take independent action in
the Mediterranean and pledging the
power Of Germany and Austria to sup
port her policy there, Russia and
France have been placed at a disad-
vantage. AS Italy is known to favor
the pretensions Of Ferdinand In Bulgs-
ria, as also does Austria, this set Of Bis
mark may also be taken as at Least a
tacit acquiescence in the Austro-Itslian
policy In Bulgarian affairs. This action
determines the parties in the great
European family. 1t arrays England,
Germany, Austria, Italy and possibly
Turkey, against France, Denmark and
Russia. Denmark from her very posi-
tion, would be isolated from her allies.
France would be separated from her
real support by the hostile empires of
Germany, Austria and Italy, and Rus
sIa would be hemmed up on her own

The California craze has struck q
snRg. The representatives of eastern
journals, sent out as correspondents to
that land Of fog and iog-hOrns, are
writing home accounts of the condition
Of things there that should cause all
thinking persons to pause before strik-
ing their Texas tents and scudding to
that land of inevitable disappOint-
ment. The New YORK Herald of the
2Sth Of September contained a lengthy
review OF the situation. The local jour
nails on the coast do not hesitate TO in
sinuate that fraudulent means have
been resOrted to in order to create the
boom. The sales made are represented
as fictitious in many instances, and the
real estate firms are challenged to show
evidence of sales actually made and
prices realized In Southern California,
as the phrase goes, everything is up in
the air. The native Californian is SELL
in out and moving away, and that tells
the whole story Of his own lack of con-
fidenCe in the boom.
